we don’t know yet. It appears to be a period of transition to something which is still not known. Patients discover a world of open communication about health related issues but are still tied to existential fears that they learned over a long time. The study mentioned in this post tries to find some relationship between behaviour and information categories.

People disclosed their conditions 23% more often on weekdays more than on weekends

It is this kind of analysis that is important for the development of transparency and security at the same time. Patients that do know about the value of information are able to perform mature communication and to protect themselves

I'm trying to make sense of eHealth and Telemedicine in order to redefine the relationship between patient and physician. This blog is my dedication to patients and their needs in healthcare delivery and how information technology may support this.
